YOMYOMF at C3: The Conference for Creative Content

We’re just a week away from the opening of Visual Communications’ Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival (LAAPFF) where we will be community co-presenters for the 15th anniversary screening of the Sundance version of BETTER LUCK TOMORROW directed by YOMYOMF founder Justin Lin, which will open the fest on April 27. You can purchase ticks here or click here by April 24 for your chance to win free ticks.

One of the other events at LAAPFF we’re participating in is the Conference for Creative Content or C3. This is the 7th edition of the conference which “brings together foremost media professionals in film, television, cable, digital, and transmedia to create a dialogue on the ever-changing media industry, share best practices, network, celebrate and build a collective vision for our community. This year’s theme of C3 is Future Forward.”
